Codebase revamp

Facing the challenge of incorporating a vast array of new features, addressing numerous issues in the original code, and dealing with an outdated technology stack, the Syndicode team opted for a complete overhaul of the platform’s code.

This approach allowed us to establish a clean, optimized architecture designed for the seamless addition of new features and more suited to the current and future needs of the business.
